    Anybody else that hasn't gotten the prompt to upgrade to UWB for the phone key yet?

    We have a 2023 X (built some time early last year), and it's been updated to 2024.2.7, but I still haven't gotten the prompt for upgrading the phone key to UWB yet. The app on the phone (iPhone 15 Pro) is the latest version as well. Is it just me? Anybody else with the hardware required and the...

    I have a new 2023 MYLR with software version 2023.20.300. I do not have Wi-Fi that can reach our garage as we are in an apartment building and our unit is located too far to reach the garage. I connect the car to my personal hotspot on my iPhone for Wi-Fi but still no updates. 1. Is the...

    Looking to replace my charging pad in my 2023 MY

    I'm sure someone has asked this already, but the answers I have found so far all pertain to older Teslas with a different generation center console. The current charging pad makes the phones on it super hot when charging. Since I exclusively use iPhones, I was hoping to replace it with a...

    Sturdiest magsafe phone dash holder you'll ever find

    Ever since I switched from Model S, I wanted to have a dash-mounted phone-holder. Regular options seemed flimsy, so I acquired a spare dash and dusted off my calipers. 8 versions later, I present to you this vital reminder from the investment thread: It is made from ASA and PHA plastic for UV...

    2023 Model 3 RWD on phone via bluetooth speaker distortion/crackling

    I just picked up a 2023 RWD 3 and when I use my iPhone in the car over bluetooth to make phone calls, the person sounds like they are talking through a partially blown speaker. The person I am speaking to says I sound clear to them but they don’t sound that way to me. Playing music sounds fine...

    Is there a way to send text messages to my car instead of my Apple Watch?

    I'm testing out an old Apple Watch Series 3 to see if I like it and the problem I'm having is that it keeps eating my text messages when I'm in my car. Before I got the watch all of my text messages would get sent to my car for me to see and respond to. After I started using the watch all...

    Bluetooth pairing to iPhone unreliable since getting Apple Watch

    I have a Tesla Y, iPhone 13 max pro, and an Apple Watch 6. My iPhone works flawlessly as a phone key, but pairing for audio and calls has become a constant headache since I started using an Apple Watch. The phone will no longer automatically pair to the car. I have to manually choose it to...

    iPhone voice text disabled in Model 3

    Is anyone else having issues with their iPhone voice to text when connected to your car? I can’t tap my phone’s mic and text. I have to voice text through the car, and it’s just not as accurate as my iPhone. It worked just fine with my last Tesla.

    Automatic Calendar Navigation Not Working

    My iPhone’s calendar automatically syncs to my 2019 Raven Model S, but, even though I have automatic navigation turned on in the car settings, the navigation map does not automatically show directions to the next appointment in my calendar when I get into my car. It used to work some time ago...

    No Location Services setting in iOS Tesla App - Key

    Ok, so my wife is ready to drive our Tesla Model Y into a wall. Her iPhone 11 Pro Max basically no longer works as a key for the Tesla. We have deleted the phone from the car, and set it back up. We have deleted the app on the phone, and reinstalled. Neither helped. I of course have scoured...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Wireless Charging

    Hello guys, I got my new phone with a case (otterbox magsafe). It's not too thick, neither too thin. It can be charged wirelessly, but only if I remove the phone's "foot rest" (spacer?). I suspect the extra height (not thickness) from the case misaligns the coils. I was wondering - any of you...

    AT&T Issues with Tesla App

    I have seen a few threads that make note of a potential connection, but haven't found a specific thread to this (post link if I am wrong). There seems to be a common issue recently in that AT&T users are unable to connect to their car through the Tesla app through cell service (not wifi). The...

    Correct iPhone settings for bluetooth unlock?

    Walk-up and unlock doesn't ever work when my phone is locked and in my pocket. I always have to physically remove my phone from my pocket and then either hold it horizontally or unlock the phone itself before pulling on door handle actually unlocks the car. My guess is that the gyroscope moving...

    Waze Perform Like iPhone App On Model 3?

    I've seen a lot of discussion about Waze on Tesla and TeslaWaze but I haven't seen a definitive answer to my question: Is it possible to get Waze to perform like the iPhone Waze navigation app. All I've been able to get is a static map with active icons. Do I have to use my iPhone to get the...

    iPhone Charging using Rear USB-C

    I bought a USB-C to USB-A adapter from Amazon but it won't work charging our iPhones although it worked when plugged into a PC. Aside from the official iPhone USB-C to lightning cables, has anyone have any success with adapters or 3rd party USB-C to Lightning cables?

    Moving from my CarPlay car to new Model 3

    Model S Bluetooth issues, no Siri responses, v10

    Starting with either 10.1 or 10.2, I'm experiencing Bluetooth issues with my Model S (2013 S60). 1. The volume indicator on the phone frequently pops up, switching from Bluetooth to "regular" volume. 2. Siri responses no longer sound through the car speakers. For example, when I say "Hey Siri...

I have Phone Key setup on my iPhone 11 and was shocked to find out last night that I could unlock the car doors while my phone was still in the house. I’ve tested this morning and noticed that I could unlock the car with the phone...

    Latest on SentryCam with iPhone

    SentryCam is great, but hard to use, especially to view recent "events" Until Tesla provides a way of viewing camera recording on the Tesla screen, we have to rely on 3rd party apps. Recently, there has been discussion about the vulnerability of thumb drives, as opposed to small memory...

    Car won't unlock until I handle my iPhone

    My two iPhones have never worked properly with my 3. My brand new iPhone XS Max, for example, will fail to hands-free unlock the car most of the time. The odd thing is, however, that once I take the phone out of my pocket (waking up the screen) the car immediately unlocks. I don't have to...

    I have an iPhone 8, and I almost never have a problem unlocking my Model 3 w/iPhone. However, occasionally, I see that my car doesn't lock when I walk away from the car after parking. I couldn't figure out why that was happening, but I think I figured it out. After parking the car, if I open...

    Phone Mounts in the Model 3;

    Hi All. I was thinking of using a suction cup type of cell phone mount on either the dash or the white interior dash trim, but was wondering if that’d end up damaging the surface. The posts I’ve seen so far put these mounts on the back o the touchscreen, but I’d like it a little more centered...

    iPhone XS Unlock

    I just swapped my iPhone X for an XS last Friday. I've noticed that it isn't keen to unlock the car unless it is also unlocked. If I walk up and the car doesn't immediately unlock, I usually just need to pop it out of my pocket and take a peek, and the car's unlocked. Doesn't happen every...

    I'm Thinking About Making Another Mobile App

    A few weeks ago, my car locked with my phone inside and my key dead. I didn't know about the secret location between the B pillars as a way to unlock the car but it made me think that I wish the Tesla app had a watch component. Being a software engineer, I thought — Maybe I can make an app...

    Tesla mobile app data usage

    Hi, Since I’ve had my Tesla iPhone app, my monthly mobile data usage has rocketed. I’m not sure if it’s due to the app or not, as I can’t see mobile data stats on individual apps. The app does receive data constantly while open, at least. Has anyone noticed increased data use? Can anyone with...
